Bro just look at the profile of the man your talking about again and look at that of NOI. A woman known all over the world. World bank, Asian bank and many reputable countries not Mozambique and Angola whose economy as at the time you stated is nothing good even now. As bad as our economy is now, it is better than that of than the two countries u mentioned. So it shows that the man is not a good economist, nobody know him in Nigeria not to talk of world over. He name rings no bell in economics world.

How much was crude that time and how much is crude now? Let us start from there

Okonjo is SS
Okonjo Iweala is SS
Her husband could be Igbo but Iweala is SS
Iweala has nothing to do with Biafra. No pan-african in his right senses will clamor for secession.
Leave Iweala out of your IPOB madness.
Iweala is an economist not a terrorist



I disagree with you to an extent. You see, people like Iweala and Sanusi had good intentions for the economy of the country but Jonathan and his gang of thieves needed to fill their own pockets.
I hope you remember how Sanusi was quickly kicked out when he exposed Jonathan of withdrawing and non-remittance of about #50 billion.

Chief dumbo, what about the minister of transport Chibuike(igbo) Rotimi (Yoruba) Amaechi(igbo) but an indigene and former Governor of rivers state.
So have you seen that you don't have any sense at all?

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former minister of finance, says her statement blaming the lack of political will to save funds under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan has been taken out of context.

Speaking on the Chilean saving example at the George Washington University on Thursday, the former minister had said “zero political will to save in the last administration” was responsible for some of the challenges facing the country.

But in a statement issued on Friday, Paul Nwabuikwu, media aide of the two-time minister, said Okonjo-Iweala was referring to the opposition of some governors to the efforts of the immediate past administration to save in the excess crude account (ECA) and in sovereign wealth fund (SWF).

“Some recent media reports have distorted comments made by former Finance Minister Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala regarding how lack of political will negatively impacted national savings over the past few years,” the statement read.

“Contrary to the slant given by these loud headlines, Dr Okonjo-Iweala did not indict the Jonathan administration in which she served.

“Rather, she was referring to what many Nigerians already know: the strong opposition by some governors to the Jonathan government’s efforts to save in the excess crude account and the sovereign wealth fund sabotaged this important national priority.

“The governors’ criticism of Dr Okonjo-Iweala’s many calls for the country to save for the rainy day is still fresh in the minds of Nigerians.

“It will be recalled that this opposition culminated in the governors taking the Jonathan government to the supreme court in furtherance of their position that the federal government had no right to ‘compel’ them to save.

“Several knowledgeable persons including former Anambra State Governor, Mr Peter Obi have confirmed these facts. So the issue of Okonjo-Iweala indicting the Jonathan administration over this very public issue simply does not arise.”

FG, States, LGs Share N568.4 Billion for Oct
15 NOVEMBER 2013

Also, $1billion was proposed for distribution to complement shortfall in expected revenue." The $1billion is a compromise by the FG over its words in September not to augment shortfalls anymore.

Responding to the presentation, the chairman of the States Commissioners of Finance and Ebonyi State Commissioner of Finance, Mr Timothy Odaah, lamented that the statutory allocation was getting smaller and smaller. "It appears this is the worst in terms of returns. This is the least in allocations as far as this year is concerned. We are mourning the dearth of funds and this is a wakeup call for states and local governments to buoy up their internally generated revenue."

While appreciating the "magnanimity" of President Goodluck Jonathan to approve the $1billion from the excess crude account and to be shared among the federal, state and local governments, Odaah expressed disappointment with the returns made by the NNPC.

He said that the states had requested for $2bn to complement for the shortfall in revenue but got only $1billion. In September, Odaah and fellow commissioners had walked out of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) when the federal government said that the framework of the 2013 budget was no longer realistic and it won't augment shortfall in revenue. Odaah raised issues with the statutory allocations of previous months.

GEJ, a really really humble President.

You know, there is this quote that says "If you want to test the true Character of a Man give me Power."

Jonathan has been tested with the highest political position in Nigeria (President), and still remained TRULY humble.

Google it bro. She is a board member of many organizations,mostly as an economic advisor.

They are many bro. Some she visits twice in a year. But with tech she works from anywhere.

She was almost appointed the World Bank chairperson if not the interest of America.

N473bn is just a monthly overdraft for FG.

Let me lecture you a little. The monthly sum shared by the FAAC to the Federal, State and Local govt is far above N473bn. Every state government borrows from banks monthly in overdrafts to offset expenses amd salaries pending when National money is shared and such loans are repaid within 30days.

Even local govts borrow on monthly overdrafts.

That amount is less than $2bn out of the $22bn dollars buhary wants to borrow with an indefinite payment date. Aside previous borrowings.

Please stop making a drop in a bucket look like a sea.
